Dear Doctor f 



Only today did I have a chance to start visiting your correspondents and 

 I am rushing to give you the following information. 



Davesne had sent you on the 9th of this raonth three sample prints together 

 with a letter which you will probably have received by now. As he said, he sent 

 these from fethe post office at the Luxem bourg. 



Schmelz had found it necessary to finish some plates for his main Publishing 

 house first, since he is very dep4ent on them, but he has them done now. He will 

 start to work on your plates right away. I have urged him m and he promised to 

 deliver one plate in November and the last one before the end of the year. 



Kfcluffet (2) had put aside your work for similar reasons, promised however to 

 have it finished within a month. 



Picart is going to send you the galley proofs together with the drawings on 

 Saturday the 2*fth of this raonth, he was working on your things and I asked him to 

 be as quick as possible. 



As far as the porlecain störe was concerned, I was told that the things for you 

 were sent well packed and accompanied with the necessary papers to New Orleans 

 soon after you left for St. Louis and that they might not have reached their 

 destination until the middle of September and that you should not worry. 



m 



I shall/Nachet tomorrow and give him your Orders. 



Now, I believe I have answered all your questions and just wish to add that I 

 was very happ«j to be of help to you and that you may call upon me in the future. 



I hope your dear family is well. Please give my greetings to your wife and 

 remember me to my elittle friend George. Also my best greetings to your brother. 

 I am very happy to know that I shall see you next month. 



I gave your greetings to Mrs. Gay, Prilling and the other acquaintances and they 

 asked me to send you their greetings. 



Hoping to be able to talk to to you soon and somekhat pressed by other business, 

 I must close now. 



Yours sincerely, 

 Johannes Grönland
